Plain Bread Pudding
Crumb enough stale bread to fill two cups. Pour over them 1 quart of boiling milk. When cold and the bread is thoroughly softened add 1 beaten egg, 1/2 teaspoonful salt, 3 teaspoonfuls sugar; and, if wished, 1/2 cupful of raisins. Bake three-quarters of an hour. This may be tied up in a cloth and boiled. Serve with some plain sauce.
